Okay, so I decided to start a journal to consolidate my pheromone experiences. Plus, I’ve been really slack at tracking my results, so hopefully starting a journal will keep me a little more focused and help me to recognized patterns, trends, and how I get the best results.
Thanks for reading. I welcome all useful feedback!
This is an Instant Openess report I wrote a few weeks ago.
I really like this product a lot, and it’s the one I use most regularly. I’m pretty introverted, though I can be sociable and chatty at other times. However, in large groups I tend to freeze up or zone out a bit. So I’ve been trying out Instant Openness in social situations at church, work, and my family, and it’s been great.
The self-effects are what really get me, as I feel much more confident, more likely to initiate conversation, and very upbeat. I use 1x strength, one spray on my wrists that I rub together and one on the back of my neck.
In one instance, I wore Instant Openness to work and felt more comfortable striking up conversations with people I don’t work that closely with. I joined a group of ladies for lunch, and had a fun time.
Another time, I wore Instant Openness to a singles function at church, and everyone around me was very chatty, laughing, and having a good time. It may have just been the people, but the other women just seemed exceptionally giddy/giggly. Usually, I’m kind of put off by this behavior, but I was pretty giggly myself.
I wore it again for worship practice where I’m usually the only woman on the team and I feel kind of awkward. To say that Instant Openness is an ice breaker is an understatement. It helped the guys loosen up around me and be more conversational. This past practice I wore Instant Openness , and practically everyone (men and women) was chatting away and having a good time, even though we were supposed to be practicing! Not that we don’t laugh at practice, but the mood just seemed to be more carefree and fun than usual.
I wore Instant Openness , with some Instant Shine behind my knees and got some pretty good results. Instant Shine tends to make me feel moody, but I think the Instant Openness balanced it out a bit. I wore this combo to another church (I was there to check out the space for a dance recital) and the reception I got was very nice. I even had an older man, old enough to be my father, flirting with me talking about I must have some moves he’s never seen before!
LOL! That same day I spent with some family, and even my dad and uncle were chatting with me and paying attention to my input.
I really like Instant Openness and will order some more in the regular size bottle, maybe 2x strength.
What are some of your results with Instant Openness ?
I think I’ve gotten a good handle on how Instant Openness works, so now I’m moving on to Instant Honesty.
I combined it with Instant Honesty with Instant Openness on Friday before I went to a singles group meeting. I sprayed 1x strength Instant Openness on wrists and chest. And then I sprayed 1x strenght Instant Honesty on the back of my neck. The Instant Openness helped me be very chatty and contribute to the discussion. I also noticed that one girl was very chummy with me, and friend I have drifted from a bit seemed to warm to me. I credit Instant Honesty with those.
I used some Instant Honesty alone on Saturday. One spray on the wrists rubbed together. I wanted to see how it would work at a women’s prayer breakfast. I didn’t notice any self-effects, and I didn’t feel as chatty, but the women seemed comfortable around me. Also the friend I was drifting from was more responsive to me and we spent a little more time talking than usual.
Today I sprayed Instant Honesty once on wrists rubbed together and one spray on the back of my neck before I went to church. I noticed the same self-effects as Instant Openness , and I felt very cheerful and light-hearted. I wasn’t even upset to see my ex and his new girlfriend.
I went to lunch with a mixed group of people and got some good conversations with a guy I was riding with. He was telling me all about his work history, being laid off, finding another job, how long he’d lived in the area, how long he’d been going to the church, and etc.
Once we all got to the picnic area, I think people felt very comfortable around me, even a couple of girls I thought didn’t like me very much. In fact, one of the girls, after we had taken a bathroom break, just blurted out to me that she wanted me to pray for her concerning some relationship drama. It was kind of out of the blue, and I was surprised because I didn’t even think she liked me enough to confide in me about anything. I credit Instant Honesty with this, because I was very surprised.
I will say that Instant Honesty definitely lives up to its purpose. I’m surprised at the depths of conversation I had in one day, and with people I’m not in regular contact with. I will test it out for a few more days before I move on to IS/A, which I really want to try out on this guy I’m digging. We’re going dancing next week, and I want to be on my A game with him.
I’ve been messing with MX135 and IS/A too. I’ll post a report of MX135 soon, as I absolutely love this stuff and have gotten some good results from it.
Nice reporting. I am glad to see that I am not the only person here who wears pheros to church. If you’re looking for a laugh sometime, read ISa to church?
It was my very first time wearing pheros of any kind, and I accidentally sprayed a sexual phero before church. It was very funny, at least in retrospect.
I do have a mini update on Instant Honesty . I wore it this past Tuesday and Wednesday to a computer software class. The first day, my instructor was very friendly to me (he remembered me from a previous class I’d taken with him). He was very helpful as well when I had questions. There was a cute guy sitting next to me who I had been kind of ignoring. I wanted to see if Instant Honesty would work it’s magic, so I started to chat him up. He was very responsive and I was surprised at how easily I conversed with this perfect stranger. I found out where he currently lived, where he went to school, what his current occupation is, and that our families are from the same area. Pretty cool. He helped me out when I was stuck on some class exercises too.
For lunch, I went to Whole Foods and decided to sit outside to eat. In less than 10 minutes I was approached by a “homeless” man who wanted money so he could buy food for his family. I honestly did not have any cash on me, so I politely told him no. He left with no problems. Then less than ten minutes after that another man approached me asking me to take him to buy some gas for his broke down truck!
I hit me later that maybe the Instant Honesty had something to do with these men asking me for help. Neither of them came onto me sexually, but it was like they perceived me as a caring person who would listen to their problems, which is very consistent with my last experience with Instant Honesty .
The next day, I wore Instant Honesty hoping for the same results with my instructor. At first things started out okay, but then started speaking very candidly about his work/colleague challenges during class–troubles he was having. He even caught himself going down a “rabbit trail” and got on with lesson! I was having some problems with my computer, so I asked him if I could move to another one, which was in the back of the class. He seemed really disappointed that I had to move to another computer. Later on I was having trouble with some of the exercises, and he seemed visibly frustrated with me. 
I don’t know what it is about this stuff (I need to do more research), but it certainly has an affect on people!
Funny story! Thanks for sharing. I will definitely make sure I check my bottles before spray and head off the church!
Product: IS/A To-Go w/some EOW mixed in. Also some residuals from Instant Openness I sprayed earlier that day.
Dosage: One spray to each wrist and one spray to back of neck.
Environment: TG’s home and later on outside in a grassy area (to watch fireworks)
Duration: 4.5 hours
Self-Effects: Felt a boost of confidence and mood elevation. Slight sexual arousal. Increased feelings of sensuality.
Effects on Others: Overall,women were a bit standoffish. Men were receptive. This is interesting, because I have worn IS/A at work, and I usually get a positive responses from women there, exhibited in increased respect and attention. Kind of a status boost and I feel that acknowledgment from them. This time, the women I was around (whom I hadn’t seen for over a week) were a bit reticent towards me. They would greet me warmly, then back away and give me some distance. Like I said, the men were very much friendly and receptive to me.
Received warm welcome from Girl 1, but then she backed away.
TG/Host was distracted by preparing food and greeting guests. No response from him until later.
Felt a little invisible to others, but still felt confident.
I struck up a conversation with Girl 2, who is very quiet and reserved. She was hard to engage, but I kept the conversation going by asking her tons of questions. Finally, when there was a pause, I excused myself to get some ice cream.
Girl 3/other group leader, a bit standoffish and guarded. Warmed up much later in the evening though.
Girl 4/quasi alpha?, quiet, guarded, was skimming a book. We had a short conversation. Later, when preparing to play Catch Phrase, she tried to assert “authority” over me by telling me to move over to the end of the couch so that Girl 1 could sit down. I kind of ignored Girl 4 b/c Girl 1 clearly wanted to sit on the floor. Then Girl 4 asked me to move over again, and was very “extra” in her delivery. I said sure in a nonchalant way. Girl 1 again verbally expressed that she wanted to sit on the floor, so I kind of laughed to myself and shook my head. Girl 4 kind of apologized and removed herself from the game and sat behind me on the floor. I don’t really recognize her authority, because in my mind, she has none. I think that is why there is friction between us. She was kind of bitchy towards me, and that didn’t seem usual for her.
Later on we drive to fireworks show. TG rides with me . I’m sure he got a good whiff of the IS/A while in the car. We get to the site, and to my delight, he ends up sitting next me on the grass with Guy 1. Oh, I should say Guy 1 and I chatted a bit at the house, talked about my work. Guy 1 is nice, but I’m not really interested in him.
I talk with TG during the fireworks, and he asks me about group salsa dancing later this month, and I tell him it’s still on. He then tells me about his interest in shag dancing and how he wants to check it out. I say I’d be interested and that he should set it up. He is very enthusiatic about this. Then later back at his place again, group plays another round of Catch Phrase, and he reminds me about shag dancing. I reiterate that we’d be salsa dancing on Sunday and shagging on the following Thursday. He’s all for it! We chit chat. He gives me a hug before I leave.
Oh, and I chat with Guy 2, who is old enough to be my father, about his energetic daughters who were with him. He puts his hand on my waist when he responds. Interesting.
So, I think the evening with IS/A was a success. I got to talk more with my TG, and I got some good subtle hits with the other men. I have to say that they have always been friendly to me, even before I started wearing pheros. It just seems like now, their attention gravitates towards me a little more.
Sounds like you’re having fun.
Yes, ma’am!
I was kind of puzzled with the female responses I had last night, but I’m not very close with any of them, and maybe they were slightly put off by the IS/A. I don’t know.
Don’t be surprised if you are treated less than warmly by the women you normally socialize with whenever you wear I/Sa. They are busily trying to figure out what has caused such a change in you to make you so fantastically sexy all of a sudden, whether you are now a threat to any of their relationships, and whether they have diminished socially because of you.
They will come around in time, after everyone has a chance to adjust. The social ranking in your group may change some as you are recognized as being the alpha female of the group, or closer to it. This is normal. It may take some time, though, so try to be patient and not let the process aggravate you.
On the other hand, men will not often give you that kind of response, because your elevated sex appeal does not threaten them in any way. The only exception to that for me, was my husband. He took over a month to stop giving me suspicious glances and trying to figure out what was going on. He also displayed increased jealousy during that time as he noticed other men showing me more interest and attention. After a while it smoothed out and he started feeling sheepish. Not too long ago he told me about that sudden burst of jealousy and seemed to feel rather silly over it.
Product: IS/A To-Go w/five drops of EOW mixed in and Instant Honesty To-Go (1x strength).
Dosage: IS/A --one spray to each wrist and one spray to chest. I/H–one spray to back of neck.
Environment: Church (bad, I know!) and restaurant.
Duration: 4 hours
Self-Effects: IS/A had me feeling little feisty/testy this morning, but I think I/H helps smooth it out and takes the edge off. I know some frown on wearing IS/A to church, but for me, it gives me a needed confidence boost which I need due to some uncomfortable circumstances I experienced with my ex who still attends the church. In short, the IS/A helps me feel like I’m awesome 
and helps me get passed any self-doubt I may feel.
Effects on Others: Had worship practice first thing in the morning. The leader and percussionist are female, and the rest of the team is male. I didn’t really notice anything with the men. I wasn’t standing close enough to any of them anyway, and most of them are married, so… I noticed that the worship leader was not as bubbly as usual. She seemed more subdued, but was very complimentary of my singing.
A guy on the team whom I have been buttering up for the last two weeks didn’t speak to me or make eye contact with me. Again, I was not in close proximity to him, and I think I messed up by not really getting a chance to speak to him at our last practice, so I think he might have taken it as rejection. But then again, he didn’t say hello to me either… Moving on.
Was almost talked to death by this lady’s mother about worship flags (I/H?).
After service, I met up with some single’s group members to see who was going to lunch. Though I’m not the group leader, everyone was looking to me to organize the group and pick the place for lunch! This is very unusual. The whole lunch was a bit strange to me. Everyone seemed a bit out of sorts. It could have just been the dreary weather. My TG from last week, who is also co-leader, ignored me at first. Then he made a few verbal gaffs about Miss South Carolina and blondes (the other co-leader, a female, is blonde and got a bit irritated with him)–I/H? Somehow we all got on about NKOTB, and he asked me about what kind of music I like and some other things. This is the same guy who was all jazzed about salsa and shag dancing, but for some reason he seemed really out of sorts and a little distant.
But I can see that IS/A definitely gives off an alpha female vibe, as I experienced today. I will probalby switch gears and start testing IS/B before I buy either product in the full size.
Great reporting! Jup, the IS/A is ginving you an alpha vibe. That’s another reason why females react on it in a more distant way. You’re competition!
Have fun!

Product name, scent, and strength: IS/B-neroli and Instant Shine 2x-neroli
Application dosage and locations: IS/B-1 spray inside elbows rubbed together and 1 spray to chest; Instant Shine 1 spray rubbed between knees. I wanted to try IS/B again in a mixed company to see if it would give me a softer, more approachable vibe.
Environment tested in: The first environment was a friend’s home for a card making workshop. The second place was a pool party/cookout an hour and a half later.
Self effects: I’m not sure; I felt relaxed.
**Effects to others: **
Card making workshop: The ladies seemed very congenial. The atmosphere was relaxed. I even got along with this one lady, my friend’s next-door neighbor, who gets on my nerves. Other friend seemed a little put off by me. Not sure why. I thought I’d be safe wearing IS/B around women since I had such dramatic, and slightly adverse reactions from them using IS/A.
*Pool party:*Okay, this is where it gets interesting. I arrived a Hostess’s house late, but it was fine, because they were just about to eat. And other people arrived late as well. It was a mixed crowd of men and women. So most of the crew was there. So I went down to the pool, and then I just had to shake my head. Who was frolicking in the pool, but my TG (and his kids) and some chick—we’ll call her Ms. Thang. I’m thinking, Oh, Lawd. I don’t know, but Ms. Thang was sporting this bikini with her goodies all hanging out. TG looked as happy as a pig in a blanket. I’m like ! I cannot believe this.
We all went back up to the house to eat. I brought my Southern Living broccoli salad. It’s a hit wherever I take it. I chatted with Guy 1. He’s good looking, tall, dark, and handsome. Was a friendly chat–nothing flirtatious though. Talked with Girl 1 about sewing. Well, TG pretty much ignored me most of the time. Girl 2, who is co-leader of the group looked 
. Girl 3 looked knowingly. No one else seemed to care. But I think my pheros helped me maintain . I think I tend to project an alpha vibe regardless, so I tried to tone it down with IS/B to make me seem more soft and approachable. I added the Shine for a little…er…shine. I think it worked, because Ms. Thang seemed to take to me as soon as TG introduced me as the “dance coordinator.” Of course my mouth is full of food when she tried to talk to me. I warmed up later, and we had a good little chat about college football and basketball. She seemed to like me. Then they started playing volleyball, and somehow I got pulled into the game, even though I suck at it. But I am a good server. TG was showing off (for Ms. Thang?), and damn if he does not get finer when he is out in the sun! I like, why is he so damn cute? Argh! So we play for a little bit, and I suck most of the time, except I did score one point by accident. I also noticed the Ms. Thang was checking me out a few times during the game. I didn’t see her scrutinize the other ladies in this manner. Then TG’s youngest boy had a nose bleed—in the pool! Later on Hostess told me his older brother had popped him the face. So TG sprang into action and Ms. Thang was close on his heels 
. Some of us continued messing with the volleyball, but I snuck away. That was pretty much it. Ms. Thang left, and TG made this big to-do about walking her to her car. She said good-bye to me and complimented my volleyball serve—which was actually kind of sweet… I chatted with Guy 2 and Hostess a little, and then left.
Duration of effects: 4 hours.
Effects from mixing with other products: n/a
Time exposure: Card making ladies were exposed to the pheros for an hour. The pool party people were exposed to the pheros for two and a half hours.

Product name,scent and strength: IS/B and Instant Shine 2x, both neroli scent. I’m going to have to start requesting chocolatini.
Application dosage and locations: One sprays of IS/B to chest and one to inner elbows rubbed together. One spray of Instant Shine to back of neck.
Environment tested in: Dance hall for salsa and swing dance lessons
Self effects: Relaxed, optimistic mood.
Effects to others: I met three girls from my church and my TG. Yes, this is the same TG who was excited about this lesson, who asked me to go shag dancing with him, and who also brought Ms. Thang to the pool party. The girls were friendly and nice. The instructor was nice and used to me to demonstrate some dance moves to the class. The class rotated partners, and they all seemed pleasant enough. TG begged me to be his partner because he said I’m a patient teacher. I kind of ate it up.
The lesson lasted an hour, and then there was a free dance. TG made a beeline for me to help him practice what we learned. He’s pretty rhythmically challenged, bless his heart, but we had fun anyway. There was this one moment when he removed his glasses (I’m not sure why), and he pulled me close to him. All I could do was look in his eyes, and I think I melted a bit [Swoon] . He didn’t even pay any attention to any other lady there, not even the girls from our single’s group. All eyes were on me. He had to leave early to get his boys ready for school the next day, but he wanted to make sure we’re still on for shag dancing later this week. I said was still interested.
After he left, I danced some more, and had a good time. There were two men I danced with quite a bit.
I stayed for the swing dance lesson with the other girls and danced three dances after that. I think the pheros had some effect on the men there, but in that kind of setting, you try to dance with as many people as possible, and I’ve had lots of dance partners without wearing pheros. But the pheros surely didn’t hurt.
Duration of effects: The entire time I was there.
Effects from mixing with other products: n/a
Time exposure: Three and a half hours
Just checking in, enjoying your journal. For some reason I do NOT like Ms. Thang. lol
I know, right? I hope she doesn’t make anymore special appearances! I don’t know the nature of her’s and TG’s relationship. They looked very chummy, but there’s no telling. I’ve just decided to play it and be open to the right person when he comes.
You know, I’m giving TG a bad rap about inviting Ms. Thang. I think the IS/B was at work, because during the pool party, and particularly during the volleyball game, TG did pay attention to me. I told him I preferred to stay in the back, and he was cool with it, almost conciliatory saying the rest of our team could rotate around me. When the ball went out of bounds the first time and I had to get it, every other time, he insisted on getting it. When I missed a shot (by a long shot) he asked if the sun was in my eyes, like he was actually concerned. He even suggested that the teams switch sides so ours wouldn’t be at a constant advantage. When I missed another shot, he chided me for it, but in a non-critical, playful way.
So I shouldn’t leave the impression that the IS/B didn’t have any effect. I think I will go up to three sprays when I see him again.
nice read, thanks for the report.
Tsk, tsk…wearing your pheros to church. LOL
You make me smile. I’m glad you joined this community.
Aww, thanks, lady.
I think the MX135/SOE combo works well at church, because it’s not overly sexual. Wearing them helps me with confidence concerning some challenging circumstances I’ve experienced there. Things are getting better for me, and actually, pheros have had significantly positive effect on the way I relate to people there.
